Nassfeld - nowhere in Austria is as much snow as there
Of the many ski areas located in Carinthia we want to bring you here at least one. It is Nassfeld , an Alpine ski resort, which is exceptional for its snow guarantee. In all Austria there is not such guaranty of snow as there, in Nassfeld. This is caused by its geographic location. Thanks to low air pressure and heavy rainfalls coming from the Adriatic Sea , this ski resort is located in the so called snow trap. The consequence of such conditions is a 180 cm snow cover. Of course exemption to the thickness are snow glaciers. Therefore, if you want to ensure quality skiing on 110 kilometers of slopes, do not hesitate to visit this place.
Finally, we would like to mention the opportunity to ride the route " Magical Moments " in the Hohe Tauern . The route takes you through the National Park. During this lovely hike led by trained guides you will have the opportunity to observe ibexes. It is certainly a remarkable experience.
Carinthia in winter is a truly magical place. The ubiquitous white landscape gives you the feeling of idyllic world . Without fuss and bustle. Therefore, if you are able, try to take a few days off and visit this country fairytale adventures.
